My Favorite Beech B200 does not have a moving map on the Cillins GPS, and I don't quite like the funky Collins GPS. I like Garmin much better. My question is, how can I get a addon handheld Garmin when I fly this plane? I am talking about sim of course..
You can add it by adding a window to your panel.cfg 😀
can you be a little bit more specific? I have no idea how to do this...thanks a lot
There is a way to add a window to your plane's panel.cfg and to include the default MS GPS. Unfortunately, I don't have an example for you.
If my memory serves (it doesn't always), there is a hand-held GPS out there. You might want to check simflyer.com or reality-xp.com.
Doug "Grumpy" Attrell wrote a nice tutorial. I haven't tried it in fs9 but would not hesitate to do so if the need arose. I may have misunderstood your query - if so, ignore this. If not - ➡ http://www.simviation.com/lair/AddGPS.htm

Sorry about the short answer. Tailhook pointed you to a pretty good porceedure it is very simular to what you would do with fs9. If you would like additional help I will try to answer later today as I am at work and do not have the simulator available for reference. 😕
Just in case you would like a better explination on fs9
Make changes with fs9 not running if you have it running and want to
tweek the numbers change to a different airplane before making change
and do not save a flight before you have what you want.
